Re: Can I download the complete species dictionary
This seems a pretty obvious request so my apologies if I'm being dumb but I've been looking all round the NBN site and the dedicated Species Dictionary site and I can't seem to find a complete species dictionary for download anywhere.
I've found lots of great functionality for returning *subsets* of the species dictionary filtered by pretty much anything, but all I want is a spreadsheet (or CSV) including the following four fields for all of the species commonly found in the British Isles.
- taxonVersionKey
- CommonName
- ScientificName
- taxonReportingCategoryKey
At the moment the only way I can see of getting this data is performing multiple requests against the Species List web service for a bunch of different locations and then aggregating the results but I'm sure there's a better way than this?
So, any help or pointers gratefully received ... :D
